The Lounge 107, Wolverhampton
ERECTION OF A THREE-STOREY, 25-UNIT STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
Back in 2019 CPC secured full planning permission for the erection of a three-storey building comprising 25 units of self-contained student accommodation, or ‘pod’ – each of the student pods contained a bedspace, desk for assignments, kitchenette area and en-suite shower room, as well as storage.
These pods differ from the ‘cluster flats’ most people associate with student accommodation, with cluster flats usually being more traditional student bedrooms with shared kitchen / living room and shared bathrooms or en-suites.
The scheme did not neglect the need for student’s and shared bathrooms or en-suites.
The scheme did not neglect the need for student’s to socialise however, and featured a larger common room and IT suite for collaborative working.
The contemporary flat roof building covered three storeys was situated within walking distance of the University of Wolverhampton, Molineux Stadium, a large Asda superstore and numerous other amenities, making it perfect for student life, but it was also located directly next door the Lounge 107 public house making it perfect for that favoured student pastime – drinking.
